"Ready?" Pan smirked at Trunks. "Yeah," Trunks said, not really wanting to hurt the princess. "Don't worry, you won't hurt me," Pan said. Trunks' eyes widened. 'How did she-' he was cut off by Pan punching him in the face. She fazed out and reappeared behind Trunks. She kicked his back, sending him flying into a tree. Trunks tried blocking some of her punches, but failed. He decided to fly up into the air to avoid Pan, but Pan followed him. Unexpectedly, she sent a Kamehameha at him. He dodged, but she fazed in front of the Kamehameha, bouncing it back to Trunks. Unprepared, Trunks got hit and fell to the ground. Before Pan had a chance to kick him again, he punched her in the face. Blood ran down his hand. When Pan got up, she turned to him with a great smirk. 'How is she just...' That's when he felt pain in his hand. He was the one bleeding! "What!?!" Trunks shouted as he looked at her in disbelief. "I told you that you wouldn't hurt me," she said as she prepared a Final Flash, one of the attacks Vegeta taught her while he was visiting Alrych. "FINAL.................. FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pan screamed as a bright light shot out of her hands and aimed for Trunks.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 3PM ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ugh.....where am I?" Trunks asked as he attempted to get up. "You're in the medical wing," Marron's soft voice said. "What happened?" Trunks asked. "My sister did some horrible damage to you." "Oh, now I remember..." Trunks rubbed his aching head. He was covered in bandages from head to toe. "Apparently, she was feeling a little sorry for you," Marron said. "Whadda ya mean?" asked Trunks. "Usually, anyone she faces off with either ends up in the graveyard or is disintegrated." Trunks' face was covered in shock. "I guess she thinks you're special. I most certainly think you're special," Marron said as she held up Trunks' arm carefully and pointed to the dragon mark on his shoulder. "I don't know how I got that. It was there when I was born," Trunks said. "This is one of the three special marks," Marron said. "Long ago, there was a legend that said there was a mighty dragon. It could grant a man's most desired wish. If a man with a pure heart wishes something, the dragon may grant it, but if a man with an evil heart wishes for something, the dragon would split into three different pieces, scattered across the lands," Marron said. "You have one of them, but the one with the evil heart also has one. Your piece represents the color red, fire. The evil hearted man has blue, ice. The third has black, the most dangerous. It has incredible power over the other two. It represents beauty." Marron said. 'Most dangerous? Beauty? It must be Marron, but...... most dangerous? She could be.....' Trunks thought. "Hey, do you have the black mark?" Trunks asked. "I don't know. The black mark only appears when there is trouble," Marron said. "Hmm..." Trunks murmured as he got up slowly.

Pan chose that time to pass by. She glanced once into the room and met Trunks' stare. She glared at him and continued down the hall to her room. "What's with her? She was so playful this morning, but now she's back to glaring at me again..." Trunks said as he looked at Marron who sighed. "Well, there's only one time in the world that she enjoys. That's sparring time," Marron said as she walked out of the room, helping Trunks. "The only thing she likes more than sparring is the victory," Marron said. "I think you need another bath." Trunks looked down at himself and nodded. He was covered in blood. "You should also know one more thing. Pan was just toying with you when you guys fought. She must REALLY like you," Marron said. "Oh? If this is how she shows a person she REALLY likes them, I wonder what she does to a person she REALLY hates... wait. you told me already," Trunks shivered, stalking into the bathroom. Once he finished with his bath, he put on his clothes and strapped on his sword. "Finished?" "Yeah," Trunks said as he saw the worried look Marron gave him when he flinched at her touch. "I'm sorry," Marron apologized. "Oh! It's because there's a pretty nasty gash there..." Trunks said, rolling up his sleeve for her to see. "I truly apologize for how much my sister hurt you," Marron said. "Don't worry about it. Now, about Vegeta?" Trunks asked. "Oh, yes! Why don't we get something to eat first?" Marron asked politely, knowing how much saiyans loved food. Trunks' stomach started to growl. "Yeah," Trunks said as he suddenly smelled something in the air.

"Mmmm...... smells good," Trunks murmured as he went in the direction of the smell. When he reached the kitchen, he saw Pan eating a meal fit for ten kings. Pan saw him eyeing plate loaded with many exotic foods. She glared once more before taking her plate and exiting. "All yours 'princess'," Pan spat out at Marron while she exited the room. Marron looked down at her feet as Trunks glared at Pan's back. He turned over to Marron and helped her to the table. "Are you okay? That's one bitchy sister," Trunks said, trying to cheer her up. "MY SISTER IS NOT BITCHY!!!" Marron shouted at him. "Okay! Sorry," Trunks said. 'Bitchy, huh? This isn't bitchy. This is what I consider nice,' Pan thought as she listened to both talking while eating in her room. She had superior hearing, better than everyone else's. After finishing lunch, Marron and Trunks visited Gohan to discuss Vegeta.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Royal Chambers ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Well, Vegeta... let's see, we were at peace once, but then he started a great fight with us. The treaty was destroyed I think," Gohan said as he looked at Trunks. "Why?" "Well, I don't really know." Gohan said. "Why are you so interested in King Vegeta anyway?" Gohan asked. "Because.." Trunks said. "Yes?" "Uh.. daddy? May we please go outside?" Marron asked when she saw the misery on Trunks' face. "Oh... sure Marron. Go on," Videl said. Marron took Trunks' hand and walked into the garden. "Hey, do you know how to handle that sword?" Marron asked. "I haven't tried it out yet," Trunks said, unsheathing it. 'This should be fun.' Pan thought, sitting in her favorite tree. 'He is pretty good... definitely.. he is definitely one of them...'

"You are very good!" Marron complimented, making Trunks blush. Suddenly, they heard clapping. Trunks narrowed his eyes and looked up at the tree. "Yes, very talented with that sword," Pan said sort of bitterly. "What do you want?" Trunks asked coldly. "Oh? You know, you really shouldn't speak to a princess like that." Pan said, jumping down from the tree and landing perfectly on the ground. ". especially one that can kill you," she whispered into his ear. Right after she passed him, Trunks felt a pain. Excruciating pain. Pan looked back once and sneered at him. "Weakling.." She muttered.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ 11PM ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What are you doing out here?" a pair of red eyes glared. "I couldn't sleep," Trunks said, glaring back. "Go back in." "Why should I?" Trunks asked. Silence. "Hello?" "Tell me, why do you want to find Vegeta?" the voice asked. Trunks jumped up into the tree and sat next to Pan. "Because..." Trunks said, looking down as tears formed. "What?" Pan asked impatiently, leaning against the tree, glowering at him. "Because.. he killed my mother....." Trunks said, now crying. "If I could, I would feel sorry for you, but oh well. You're better off without your parents. They're only there to make you feel like shit. Parents are nothing but trouble for you," Pan said, looking up at the stars. "That's what YOU think. Not me," Trunks said harshly. "Well, it's time for you to sleep now," Pan said. Trunks fell out of the tree. Before Trunks could hit the ground, Pan caught him with one hand. She stared down at his serene look. After she put him back in his room, she went outside. Pan took out her small ocarina and started playing some kind of melody. It was a dark song, yet very calming. "Mistress.. You summoned us?" many haunting voices asked. "Yes, I did. It seems we have found the Hero of Time.." Pan said. "What shall we do?" the disturbing voices asked Pan. Pan said nothing as a black aura surrounded her. Then, they all disappeared.
